Sibur to construct new production facilities for thermoplastic elastomers

July 20/2011

(SIBUR) -- At the site of the company
«Voronezhsintezkauchuk», work has begun on the construction of a new complex for
the production of modern road materials — butadiene-styrene thermoplastic
elastomers (TPE). The designed capacity of the new complex will be 50 thousand
tonnes per annum. «Voronezhsintezkauchuk» is the only Russia-based TPE
manufacturer with an output volume of 35 KTa, which is substantially lower than
the actual level of demand on the domestic market. Planned investments in
construction will amount to more than 3.8 billion rubles.
